	Choosing spot and building new Arctic port compared to building Rideau Canal
		HMCS MONTREAL (CP) - Politicians may make big promises about defending Canada's Arctic sovereignty with new military infrastructure in the North, but it's Col. Chris Rousseau who will actually make them happen.
		And as he juggles everything from strategic requirements to ice movement to the routes of Arctic hunters - not to mention lobbying by eager Arctic hamlets - he's not unaware of the historic importance of building Canada's first new naval port since the ones at Halifax and Esquimalt, B.C., dating back more than a century.
		Still, the facility would be a huge economic boost to the chosen location, and at least seven Nunavut communities are already jumping up and down with their hands in the air.

	The Bonassus
		While this is seen by analysts as part of an effort to re-establish more of a Canadian military presence in the Arctic after years of neglect, it probably won't escalate into a shooting match with Denmark, said Scott Taylor, publisher of Espirit de Corps magazine.
		Behind it lies the ominous fact that a no-holds-barred diplomatic war is about to break out over Canada's claimed sovereignty of the islands and waters of the Arctic archipelago.
		Outside of exercises such as this month's operation on Baffin Island, the military presence in the North is virtually zero, apart from a skeletal area headquarters in Yellowknife, a few planes and an electronic espionage operation at Canadian Forces Station Alert.

	Military Sea Transportation Service in the Arctic by Salvatore R. Mercogliano
		In late 1952, while American attention was focused on the conflict on the Korean peninsula and toward the Cold War brewing in Europe, the Military Sea Transportation Service disclosed something unique in American military history, a secret operation.
		As part of Operation SUNAC (Support of North Atlantic Construction) ships of the MSTS ventured into the Labrador Sea, Davis Strait, and Baffin Bay for two seasons (1951-52) to construct radar outposts along the eastern shore of Canada, and western Greenland.
		The re-discovery of this passage provided an escape route for Pacific-based ships that could have been potentially trapped by the polar ice pack shifting against Point Barrow, a fact that nearly occurred in 1955 and 1956.
